American Airlines flight from Philly to Florida almost landed at wrong airport

An American Airlines flight from Philadelphia arrived in Fort Myers 25
minutes late this week, after it nearly landed at the wrong airport.

The aircraft was intended for Southwest Florida International, but was
about to land at the nearby Page Field when air traffic controllers were
able to get it on track.

According to Flight Aware, flight 862 departed from Philadelphia and
landed safely at Southwest Florida International shortly before 2 p.m.
Thursday, about 25 minutes late. The two airports are about
seven-and-a-half miles apart.

Page Field was the commercial airport of the region up until Southwest Florida International opened back in May 1983.

You can see the flight path on tracking website Flight Aware, which
shows the unusual aircraft's blunder, as it veers left early, as to go
to Page Field, and then loops back around to Southwest International.
